PSA: PLEASE SHARE! If you pickle or preserve food, safe pickling requires at least 5% acidity. This is the first year you CANNOT just go grab a gallon of distilled vinegar - it’s only 4% and you will waste a lot of food thinking it’s shelf stable.

PSA for health tracking apps of any kind: 

If you have any influence for any fitness app or accessories (watches etc), you don't only need an Athlete Mode , you also need some form of disability mode.

We want to be able to track our health, without being asked to Go further, all the time, without the "whohooo you did 10k steps today, keep going" when we shouldn't take more than 2k/ day. Etc etc
(feel free to leave examples if you're reading this)

Let us turn off any kind of gamification, turn off anything asking us to go further, any ui that's telling us after 1 week that we're gaining or losing weight.

Whoever is able to provide this first? Will get a huge new market share because we'll fucking recommend the shit out of your app!

I very much wish I lived in a world where this post/linked article ("Hydrogen is dead as a fuel for cars") were wrong. But I cannot come up with a single counterpoint.

PS: I am linking someone's mastodon post here, so please do not get weird in their mentions due to me leading you to them!

I think that's the best pot of chili I've made so far and I got four generous portions out of it (eight if I eat it with rice or bread or sth, which I usually don't because I like beans)

A junior iOS developer from Ukraine is looking for a job or internship in the Frankfurt/Main area (or, anywhere in Germany). If you have any leads, please send them my way!

I don't get why all the Steam Deck competitors come with RGB lighting, while I do like having my computer glow at home why would I want lights in my face while I'm playing on the go?

PSA: Google has now begun to roll-out the Ad Topics "feature" onto Android itself. It's not just in Chrome you have to disable the settings. Please #Boost to spread awareness.

If you didn't get the pop-up screen on your Android device (it looks like the first two screenshots), to opt-out of these settings:

  1. Go to your device Settings
  2. Press "Google"
  3. Press "Ads"
    • While you're here, press the "Delete Advertising ID" button and delete it
  4. Press "Ad Privacy"
  5. Review: "Ad Topics", "App-suggested ads", and "App Measurement". Make sure all are labelled as "OFF". (This page will look like the third screenshot)

If you don't see "Ad Privacy" in Step 4 then it means that it hasn't been rolled out to you yet. You might need to wait and check back in a couple of days to see if/when it has been implemented to disable these settings.

EDIT: There's another setting to review. In step 2, scroll to "Personalize using shared data". Turn everything off.

I would like to be able to use an oven without a 50% chance of getting a small burn on my hands

maybe I should just buy oven gloves

except that it takes fucking ages to start, maybe I should see if I can just… not have elasticsearch and libretranslate start up with it at least
